FOULS
Players committing numerous or hard fouls will be
yellow carded
and may be asked to leave the field for two minutes, resulting in
their team playing short a player. This rule is enforced at the
referee's discretion.
More serious fouls, or a second
yellow card, may result in a
red card.
The red-carded player is removed from that game, and the next game.
There is no "penalty box", therefore all restarts are
direct kicks,
unless the foul prohibits a clear goal scoring opportunity (for
example, a tackle from behind on a break-away, hand ball, etc., or if
the foul is in the attacking half-field, and is flagrant. A
penalty kick
taken from half-court, will be awarded at the discretion of
the referee.
GOAL KICKS
Because there is no 6-yard box, goal kicks will be taken from 5 feet
off the goal post.
KICKOFFS, RESTARTS & FREE
KICKS
ALL restarts are direct kicks (there are no throw-ins). Opposing
player walls must be 5 paces (judged by the referee) away. There are
no walls in the case of penalty kicks. Fouls committed within five
paces of the goal line, will be moved back to five paces away.
Kickoffs may go backwards first.
Encroachment
on restarts by a defending player is not allowed. The first offense
receives a warning. A yellow card will result thereafter at the
referee's discretion.
LATE FOR GAMES
Your team must be ready to play per tournament schedule, or adjusted
announced times. There will be no grace period. If your team is not
ready at game time, your team will forfeit.

Head to Head, Goals For, Goals Against, Goal Differential, Shut-outs.
If teams are still tied, then a final game will be played with two
5-minute sudden halves, with a 1-minute half time. If the game is

played. If teams are still tied, then PK’s from half court, goal
